## Overview

Red Star Active Dry Yeast comes in a vacuum-sealed 2-pound pouch designed for optimal activation at 110-115°F. With only 7% moisture content, it offers a longer shelf life than cake yeast, making it perfect for all yeast-leavened breads and doughs.

## Description

High quality yeast great to use for all baking. Active Dry Yeast is cake yeast in a semi-dormant state. The drying process in its manufacture, reduces moisture content to about 7%, giving it a longer shelf life than cake yeast. When rehydrated, it provides ultimate baking activity in all yeast dough, low sugar to highly sweetened breads.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the expiration date?**
A: If you put the yeast in sealed containers and freeze it, it extends the expiration date by 10 years. Just be sure that you use water as hot as it comes out of the tap to activate it.

**Q: Why price gouge at $55 / $60 when the regular cost is $10?**
A: This is sold by Red Star and is $29 so I don’t think they’re price gouging. A 4oz jar is $5.99 at the grocery store. This is a 2lbs bag.

**Q: Does this product contain Sorbitan Monostearate, or is it just the yeast?**
A: I was concerned about that question too.  My shipment arrived yesterday and it's just the yeast.

**Q: Can this yeast be used for baking bread with a bread machine? Or do you have to use bread machine yeast?**
A: I use this in a bread machine - but keep in mind that some bread machines are designed with shorter "rise" times and are designed for use with Instant Yeast which has a faster rise time. In this case, proof the yeast first (mix your warm liquid, sugar and yeast and let it get frothy - 5-15 min depending on temp of your ingredients) before using the machine.

Since I dislike having holes in my bread, I use a bread machine to mix up my dough and take it OUT for the final rise (in my bread pan or braided or whatever the final product I'm looking for is). That lets you have the best of both worlds....

My favorite yeast, works so well for my king cakes. Great price for the amount. Sealed great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic buy!!!
*by R***E on November 24, 2025*

Arrived safely nicely packaged with strong shrink wrap on it. Looks fantastic. Cant wait to get to baking. I use this in jars and wondered if Amazon sold it. They did to my surprise and in a 32 oz bag! Yes please. Im so glad I looked on Amazon. And buying it this way, I saved myself $9.00. Theres no bulk stores near me, so this was a great find to me. Happy baking! Update: Ive made bread loafs, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls. Every one turned out great. No huge yeast taste, fluffy, not dense. I really like this. I was using the other name brand yeast for 25+ years and I wish I had switched to this 25+ years ago. I wont change my go to yeast, which will be this brand.
